In this second message in our series on the joy choices of Philippians, we look at chapter 2 and following the example of Jesus look at what it means to choose to serve others in humility. By putting others first, we find Christ-like joy.

In our third message from Philippians we look at the joy choice: "Give Up to Go Up." In adapting this phrase from John Maxwell, we consider what it means to give up earthly things to press on to the prize of heavenly citizenship.

We begin a quick look at the Book of Philippians and share some of the joy choices that Paul lays out for believers. In this first message we consider what Paul means when he writes: "To live is Christ; to die is gain." When we make Christ the source of ultimate joy the rest of life falls into place.

In John 21, the encounter between Jesus and Simon Peter shows us how the Risen Lord restores us, even when we fail him.

Drawing on the book, "The Five Love Languages" this Mother's Day message reminds us that our love for God is often mirrored in our love for our mothers.

Revelation 1 paints a picture of the Risen Christ that must be recovered if we are to truly live in the fullness of the resurrection. A clearer vision of who Christ is, will help us become who we are in Him. This message asks the question what is the proper response to the Risen Lord?

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday the city was stirred and people asked "Who is this?" Over 2,000 years later we are still asking the same thing. This message from Matthew 21:1-17 looks at what the answer means for us today.

While Christianity is advancing around the world, it continues to decline here in America. Why? This last message in our series looks at the lack of corporate prayer as one reason for the stagnation of the church. We learn from the Book of Acts that when we pray together God moves and brings revival.

Our look at the commitments of the early church continues as we look deeper at worship. The central part of the worship of the first believers was the celebration of the Lord's Supper. What can we learn from their devotion as we share in communion today?

We continue our series "Devoted" by looking at the commitment of the early church to worship. If we are to raise of temperature of our own worship, we need to consider the frequency, the fervor, the focus and the fruit of the first believers.
